Neither of those wheels (winnings or VSXX) look like BBS LMs... I'd take BBS over Volk or work any day.

So OP, time to buy some BBS wheels.

I don't really remember how much it costed, but it wasn't that much bc it was my friends friends company so they gave me a pretty good deal. Well now I know I would've been better off waiting and spending it on some real rims... Lesson learned here!

Glad you're okay, but I'm not surprised this happened. Happened to my buddy's Chiquito rims when he had a Nismo 350Z. People said it's because he hit the center divider. Many forum members said it's the wheel, even after postingup other pics of cars that had wheel damage from a bad crash and only minior damage like a bent wheel.

People like to praise these wheels saying they're good for the money. Proof right here that one's life (again) is not worth inexpensive wheels. People complain and are baffled why others get Volk, SSR, Work, etc. I was one of those. After all I've put my Varianza's through, no way in hell the Shakira wheels would last more than a day.

Not all rep wheel companies are bad. A ton of people have had success with varrstoen on this forum and I have never heard a bad thing..

That is true, but it has been mentioned before that these wheels were bad. Proof was provided as well. Many chose to ignore it.
